Proverbs 23:22

23:22 Listen to your father who begot you,

and do not despise your mother when she is old.

Proverbs 23:26

23:26 Give me your heart, my son,

and let your eyes observe my ways;


tn Heb “my son”; the reference to a “son” is retained in the translation here because in the following lines the advice is to avoid women who are prostitutes.
